Prep for the Testing Homestretch: Using Data-Driven Goals

As schools prepare for end-of-year testing, how can teachers and teaching team leaders use data to motivate students and teachers and celebrate learning growth? This 45-minute webinar was led by Erin Burns Mehigan, a former teacher-leader accountable for the learning results of the 500 students taught by her high school biology team, which produced dramatic leaps in learning growth and proficiency. She is joined by special guest Stevie Roper, leader of an elementary teaching team in a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Title I school that ranked 25th in all of North Carolina for student learning growth, and had the highest proficiency growth among all the district’s elementary schools. Mehigan presents several proven data-based strategies to prepare for the testing homestretch and discusses with Roper what she has used for success—and provides tips teachers can use any time of the year.
